PARIS, January l3.-The Senate has
reelected Leroyer President.
The Chamber of Deputies fixed the
debate On the budget for Monday. The
bill relating to cereal duties will be tax
en- up as soon as the budget is disposed
of.
The Chamber rejected Baron DeSou-
beyran's credit of S75,O00,OOO francs
asked tor by the Government, to be sub.
mitted to special committee. The
Government proposes to use the credit
in question in improving rifles and in
creasing defenses. The preamble to the
budget dwells upon the importance of
changing the rifles now in use and add.
ing to the defenses. OF the credit H.
600 900 francs are to be devoted to new
arms and the remainder to new barracks
and the fleet.
The publication of the full text OF
Bismarck's speech in the Reichstag is
tending to alter the tone of public
opinion regarding his utterances. The
Chancellor is charged with brutality and
endeavoring to provoke war with
France. The principal result will be to
strengthen Gen. Boulangers demand for
the military budget. The War Minister,
in order to avoid conflict with his col.
leagues, has consented to accept credit
of eighty seven million francs as suffici-
ent for the present year. but his orig
inal demand for 1926 million francs re-
mains his estimate on paper.

II Causes France to Prepare for
War.
New YORK, January l3.-The Stars
London cable says: Bismarck's speech
has created general uneasiness ON the
continental bourses. 1t is accepted as a
convincing proof that Germany regards
war as inevitable, and is resolved to- be
first in readiness for the field. 1t is a
challenge to France to assume the offene.
i've as soon as she likes. The tone of
the German press is proof of the increas-
ing strained relations. The French press
generally treats the speech as q warning
to be prepared for q German invasion
without an hours delay. In French
military circles, the feeling is general
that the French preparations are not
complete, but that France will be ready
to take the field before Germany.

with applause.

secure for France the respect of all.
The essential condition of that is peace,
which We prize as highly as anybody in

SAN Francisco, January 43.--By the
arrival from Tahati to-day of the

that Chas. w. Banks, cashier of Wells
Fnrgo & Co., who absconded November
lst with $50, 900. went to Tahati on the

was Unaware that he had defaulter

Captain Berude, of the vessel on
which Banks sailed to Tahiti gives de.
scription of his securing passage and the
trip as follows: 'Although am pretty

THE REICRsrAG.
Continuation OF the Debate on
the Army bill.

tine army HILL
BERLIN, January l3.-At meeting OF
the Progressiss members of the Reich
stag. held yesterday evening it was de-
cided to support the Centre in voting
for trienniate term as the duration G 1
the army bill. There is not q symptom
of weakening on the part of the opposi-
ton or of its being inclined go beyond
the trienniate term. A small number of
the nobility, who are members of the
Center. will vote with the government,
bat their support is not likely to effect
the fate of the bill.
In referring to the statement that
France was willing to make an alliance
with Russia, Prince Bismarck said:
"This shows how misinformed these
politicians are. England might sooner
quarrel with Russia than we. We have
such q long Russian frontier, while
England, even in the event of war,
would have nothing to fear. We have
no interest whatever in the conquest of
Russian territory. and of Polish provin-
ces we have more than are necessary.
In years to come if Russia attacks us
we must and will defend ourselves to
the last drop of blood. As matters
stand Russia has no cause to attack sls
nor have we any cause to attack Russia.
It is lust as little inconceivable that the
Poles would involves US in war with
Russia, for it is very doubtful whether
hey weuld profit by Russian victory.
1 fail to understan how the
same party should On the one
hand seek to involve us, while
on the other hand they would refuse or
curtail the means of war.
DR.. Winthorst, replying again. point
ed out that proper Interpretation of
the constitution was at variance with the
Chancellor's ideas of political economy
or policy"
Prince Bismarck, rising abruptly,
reterted: s'In the constitution it
is plainly set forth that the Empe-
ror fixes the effective strength of
the army. If the Reichstag should not
grant those measures for the army which
we consider necessary, the King of
Prussia would still have the resource of
appealing with every confidence to the
Prussian Diet, which would no doubt
grant the required means. We wish to
preserve, you wish to encroach. We re-
tain our old domain, you seek to acquire
new privileges and rights you do not
now possess. Concerning Hanover, SO
constantly adverted to, l shall submit
the document demanded. We shall
then see how matters stand"
Alluding next to the attacks on his
economic policy, Bismarck said that the
fact that national prosperity had ad-
vanced by it could not be disposed of
by denials. In concluding he said if
the government finds it cannot get on
with the present Reichstag certainly it
will not abandon the constitutional
ground in dissolviug the body.
General Won Schellendorff, Minister
of War, followed, opposing the view of
Herr Richter that the bill had been in
troduced solely with the object of les
sening the number of officers and men
who are now on indefinite leave of alb.
sence. The motion to close the debate
was agreed to, and the House adjourned
until O'Clock tomorrow, when a divi. |
sion on the bill will be taken.
